Riyan Parag, the youngster from Rajasthan Royals topped the charts of the youngest batsman to score an IPL fifty. He achieved the feat in the afternoon match against Delhi Capitals at Feroz Shah Kotla, Delhi. Riyan outsmarted the record of his teammate Sanju Samson.

The youngster, who is the first cricketer to play the IPL from Assam has achieved a brilliant record to his name, which would stay on the list for quite a time. Though the knock was a bit slow, it was the knock which gave something on the board for Rajasthan Royals.

Pant scored when he was 18 years 212 days old while Gill scored when he was 18 years 237 days old. Their knocks came in 2016 and 2018 edition of the Indian Premier League.
